Abstract
Australia’s new research reactor will cater for neutron-beam science and radioisotope production from the end of 2005, with an unperturbed neutron flux of 4×1014 n/cm2/s1, a liquid-deuterium cold-neutron source and a capacity for 18 neutron-beam instruments. The design of supermirror reflecting guides was optimized to deliver maximum neutron flux to neutron-beam instruments at the reactor face and in the neutron-guide hall. Optimization of the neutron-transport system used coupled Monte Carlo simulations of the neutron source and the neutron-transport system. The design of the neutron-transport system is discussed, including key performance issues and simulations of flux profiles and spectra.
